Non Electric Car Air Purifier : A Complete Solution For Indoor Air Pollution
Is the Pollution within your vehicle Killing you?
Indoor air pollution is extensively researched. There have also been reports of the effect of indoor air pollution on health. Have you ever thought about the air pollutants in your car cabin, though? Owing to the congested roads and traffic jams, you get to spend a lot of time within the car cabin. The polluted air in car cabins can cause a lot of damage to your respiratory system. Children are more susceptible to the adverse effects of air pollution in car cabins. In this blog, let's analyze in-car air pollution step by step and how a car air purifier can keep you healthy.

What Causes in-Car Air Pollution?
It doesn't matter if you have a new or an old car; there is always some smell in the cabin of the car. You smell TVOCs and PFAS in your car that make the strange greasy mist inside the windshield. Your car cabin can have a blend of over 40 toxic gases and chemicals like harmful benzene or formaldehyde.
TVOCs & PFAS is among the primary indoor air pollutants that cause a majority of health issues. TVOCs & PFAS in your vehicle cabin exists in the vehicle foam in the seats, carpeting, dashboard, or adhesive used in the car to hold things in place. In addition to TVOCs & PFAS, particulate matter emitted from car brakes and aromatic hydrocarbons from interior components can contribute to several health issues. Odors of cigarette smoke and other sources also cause in-car air pollution.

Why is Air Pollution Inside Car More Hazardous Than Outside?
Air pollution within a car cabin is high since they inhale the emissions from around them and then circulate them within the car cabin. Actually, half of the pollutants in the cars are from the immediately preceding vehicles. Concentrations of certain air pollutants and poisonous chemicals are nearly a decade higher within the cars and the air quality in general is fifteen times poorer. There is an easy passage of the pollutants through air vents and other openings in the vehicle. Traffic intersections both in urban and suburban areas have higher air pollutants, according to the Atmospheric Environment. Some of them include:
Stopping at red lights increases air pollution exposure
Traffic signals have approximately 29 times higher concentration of particulate matter as compared to open roads
Passing through intersections accounted for 25 percent of pollution exposure
Air pollution is quite high at intersections as drivers tend to accelerate, decelerate and idle their vehicles.
How Does it Affect Children?
Since kids usually stay in the car's back seat, they are more susceptible to the damaging effects of on-road air pollution. The car fans draw in the exhaust or fumes emitted from a lorry or car behind you. This impacts the not-so-developed lungs of kids and they become susceptible to the higher risk of sensitization that causes asthma and respiratory issues. According to a Barcelona study, car pollution also impairs the capacity of children to focus and also decreases the speed of their reaction.
How Bad is In-car Air Pollution?
Research has established that the air quality within your car cabin can be 5 times worse than in your home or workplace. In-car pollution can cause a variety of health issues. If you feel headache, nausea, or sore throat whenever you travel in your car, it is a sign of in-car air pollution. In-car air exposure continuously may also induce cancer and immune system disorders. Besides that, where you reside also raises the health effects of in-car air pollution. In other instances, children can also be at risk of getting damaged DNA due to in-car air pollution.
5 Simple and Surefire steps to enhance the air quality in your Car
Below are some simple and surefire steps to enhance the air quality in your car.
- Use a Hybrid System Non Electric Car Air Purifier (Not a Standard Car Air Purifier)
- Keep a Safe Distance From Cars
- Avoid Under Rated Synthetic Car Air Fresheners (Make use of a IFRA Certified Car Air Fresheners)
- Close the Windows
- Keep Your Car Clean
1. Use a Hybrid SYS Aerospace Grade Non Electric Plantorigen Car Air Purifier
One of the effective means of handling in-car air pollution is through the utilization of a hybrid system car air purifier.Hybrid-SYS Non Electric Impregnated Activated Carbons + Impregnated Activated FR005 + Impregnated Activated FR005 + Impregnated Activated Aluminas + Impregnated Activated Natural Zeolites + Impregnated Activated Molecular Sieves blends for Chemical Filtration + APHEPA + Plant Nanolites + Plant Electrons + Plant Membranes Filtration which having a capacity of removing 100+ toxic gases in gas scrubber and it will removes 40 toxic gases inside the cars.
Our car air purifiers are well suited to remove 40 toxic harmful gases, chemicals and odors in the car indoor air. The air purifiers also include carbon filters, plant nanolites, plant membranes which improved 100x times performance when compared to the normal existing technology used in the car cabin. The good thing about the car air cleaners is they do not need monthly sun recharge and they last 1.5 years.
We Use Patented Formula And Govt Of India Approved Product.
2. Keep a Safe Distance from Cars
A majority of the air contaminants are from the car in front of you. Therefore, ensure you have a safe distance from cars when you are at an intersection, especially if there is a truck or a bus waiting in front of you.
3. Do Not Use Under Rated Synthetic Car Air Fresheners
Deodorizers or air fresheners make your car smell nice; however, these are a germ repository and source of toxic TVOCs. TVOCs make the car cabin air quality deteriorate.
Instead of using under rated synthetic car air freshener, you can use Natural Plant Based Car Air Fresheners
Our Product Is Patented Formula And Govt Of India Approved Product.
4. Close the Windows
Ensure you close your vehicle windows and set your air recirculate when you are stopped at a traffic signal (particularly traffic lights).
5. Keep Your Car Clean
Contaminants in the car get mixed with the dust particles. While breathing in such polluted air, one develops respiratory issues. It is because of this that one needs to make the car clean and dust-free.
Conclusions
Though indoor air pollution is something for which a lot of people are worried and aware, many among us overlook the environment inside the car cabin. Since you are spending plenty of time in the car, you have to install an air purifier to breathe safely. PlantOrigen Plant Based Hybrid SYS Aerospace Grade Non Electric Car Air Purifiers gives extremely efficient car cabin air purifiers that efficiently eliminate 40 toxic gases, chemicals & odors from indoor air.
